108” Allied Snowblower

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Do not operate the blower in the fully raised position. The three-point hitch on some tractors raises high enough to cause the PTO shaft to bind. This can cause damage to the PTO shaft and/or to the hitch and pins.

2.Depth of the cut can be partially controlled by tilting the blower forward or backward. Adjust the top link of the tractor hitch so the snowblower is just slightly

tilted back when resting on the ground. CAUTION: Excessive backward tilt may cause the “U” joints to flutter resulting in PTO shear bolt failure.

3.The snowblower hitch should mount on three types of tractor hitches. A standard category 2 uses the pins supplied without bushings. A standard category 3 uses the pins supplied with the bushings. A category 3 quick hitch uses the pins with bushings on the inside holes (holes are exactly 19” apart measured up and down.)

4.Adjust the lower link sway chains or blocks on the tractor to restrict movement of the blower when operating.

5.The snowblowers may be purchased with either of two available spouts. Both spouts have hydraulically controlled spout deflectors. The standard spout should be suitable for all general snow blowing applications. The truckloader spout was designed to blow snow directly onto the back of a truck. The maximum height of the truck side you blow over should be approximately 10 feet.

6.Run the blower at low RPM to check operation before blowing snow.

7.The snowblower has shear bolts to protect the tractor and blower in case a large object enters the blower. The PTO shaft uses two - 3/8" x 1" (grade 2) hex bolts as shear bolts. The auger uses one - 5/16" x 1 ¼” (grade 5) hex bolt as a shear bolt. Shear bolts should be fastened with a lock nut. These bolts must be kept tight to prevent wear of the bolt and bolt holes.

8.Never run PTO shaft at over 1000 RPM.

9.Chain Tension: Slack on the lower side of the chain should be 3/8 to ½ inch.
